  • Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Arboretum Living Collections Summary
    Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Arboretum Living Collections Summary 1. General Collections: The total Memorial Arboretum tree collection at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) includes approximately 8,600 trees comprised of 326 taxa on 624 acres of gently rolling hills, steep ravines and level land. A list of the trees species, cultivars and varieties is found in Appendix A. The General Collections include trees that pre-date the establishment of the Arlington estate. This collection includes the oldest trees on the property, primarily white and chestnut oak, hickory and other native trees. The oldest trees are approximately aged at between 225- 250 years old. During the period of the Custis-Lee estate (c. 1820-1861), the landscape was designed to take on the Picturesque garden design popular with the time. At the outbreak of the Civil War, the land was occupied by Union troops and thousands of trees were cut to be used as firewood, shelter and to create lines of sight for the defense of the city of Washington. Several trees, however, were left standing and the result is that the cemetery has many large, ancient, veteran trees. In 1873 David H. Rhodes, who was hired as the landscape gardener and served in that capacity until 1930, began a program of plantings within the cemetery grounds, including ornamental and specimen trees near the mansion and elm, beech, and red, white, and chestnut oaks throughout the cemetery . These plantings reinforced the species make-up of the original Arlington estate forests, but also included the addition of exotic ornamental trees as well. Rhodes’ plantings took on the design of the Rural Cemetery Movement and contributed greatly in creating the iconic image that ANC has today.

Chernesky on December 12, 2008 in New Brunswick, New Jersey with Shaun Illingworth, Greg Flynn and also Jason Chernesky. Thank you both very much for coming in today, we appreciate it. To begin, could you tell us where and when you were born? James W. Chernesky: I was born December 5th, 1945 in Somerset Hospital. SI: What was your father's name? JWC: Frank Chenersky. SI: He was originally from Poland? JWC: Originally, yes, he was born in Poland, 1899, and then he came over here, I believe, when he was roughly two years old and resided in, the family … resided in Forest City, Pennsylvania, and then moved to Manville around 1916. SI: Did you grow up knowing his parents? Did you know them at all? JWC: Just my dad's, my grandmother on my dad's side is the only grandparent that I remember. … She passed away in a nursing home, I guess when I was around twenty, early twenties. SI: Did you get any idea of why the family immigrated to the US? JWC: Not really. All I could think of is for work and freedom because the border where he was born was right on the Russian border at the time and they were going back and forth with the border changed from what I understood from a Polish priest that read his birth certificate, translated his birth certificate.

JOHNSON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ingo W. Trauschweizer Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT JOHNSON, PHILLIP M., M.A., August 2014, History Casting Off the Shadow: Tactical Air Command from Air Force Independence to the Vietnam War Director of Thesis: Ingo W. Trauschweizer The American military fully realized a third dimension of warfare in World War II that sparked a post-war discussion on the development and employment of air power. Officers of the Army Air Forces lobbied for an independent service devoted to this third dimension and agreed on basic principles for its application. By the time the Truman administration awarded the Air Force its autonomy, the strategic bombing mission had achieved primacy among its counterparts as well as a rising position in national defense planning. Because of the emphasis on the Air Force’s Strategic Air Command, Tactical Air Command found itself in jeopardy of becoming an irrelevant organization in possession of technology and hardware that American defense planners would no longer deem necessary.
